CANDICE BREITZ: NEW YORK NEW YORK

Video and installation artist Candice Breitz presents New York, New York, her first-ever live performance, which features two nearly-identical casts composed of four pairs of identical twins with each pair of twins split into two groups of four actors eachpresenting two evenings of improvised performance. The performances will be based on intensive character development sessions that Breitz will hold with each set of twins to develop a single character that both will play, although in separate casts and improvisations. Moving the probing of sameness and difference that has been central to Breitzs video-based work (most recently in Factum, a series of double-portraits of twins) into the space of live performance, New York, New York brings her interest in what she has called the scripted life together with an ongoing reflection on the fragile condition of individuality.
